About Serial and USB Communications

DRAFT
CV41 Vehicle Mount Computer (Windows Embedded Standard) User Guide
Use a serial or USB cable to transmit and receive data from another
device through serial or USB communications. If you are using a USB
cable, you must purchase a USB Y-Cable. For more information,
contact your local Intermec representative.

Connect to a USB Scanner

When an HID-enabled USB scanner with the CV41, any data handling
must be programmed into the scanner because the data transmits to
an active window as a keystroke message, and bypasses the Intermec
Data Collection wedge. You can program the scanner by:
• scanning the configuration bar codes from the scanner
manufacturer.
• installing an application that accepts the incoming data.
For the SR30 or SR61T, you must purchase the correct scanner USB
cable to use with the CV41. For more information, see the following
table.
